“Fasting” Monday

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Just a word to let you know it’s a holiday in Lausanne. It’s the Monday of the FAST. Yes, instead of having a Thanksgiving, as you Canadians and United Staterers do, we have a fast day. Of course, I don’t know many people who fast for the country, but I know it used to be done.

The fair is in town and Wife and I took some time off together to visit it. It started down-sizing about 10 years ago. Used to be that the ARMY had to be called out to direct traffic and help with crowd control. No more. But it still makes for a cheap date and good free samples.
